HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may be 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it was 
successful in his own experience, being here set forth 
simply and intelligently, it will prove not less effective 
with others. '/

True Pictures of a Vanished Life 
“BILL” HAMILTON 
Appropriately enough W. T. Hamilton, the 
last survivor of the old race of free trappers, 
became the author of one of the best pen pic¬ 
tures of the old life of the plains and moun¬ 
tains ever written. 
No work of fiction offers more adventure, 
more thrills of desperate bravery, heroic en¬ 
durance and hair breadth escape than this un¬ 
adorned narrative of the life of the old trap¬ 
per and plainsman, the companion of Bill 
Williams, Jim Baker, Carson, Bridges and the 
rest whose names are household words. 
“Sixty Years on the Plains” is all that the 
name signifies and more. It depicts every phase 
of frontier life, hunting, trapping, Indian fight¬ 
ing, the beginnings of Empire building. From 
the store house of sixty years of wonderfully 
full exprience, Mr. Hamilton drew the material 
for a book of splendid interest and real value.
